[sdiy] common acronyms?

[Happy Harry]

I'd say... Bad...BAD DEVICE  (or design...)  ;^P

Yes its bucket brigade delay... think of firemen passing
buckets of water to fight the Great Chicago Fire....

Doesn't work worth a shit except in theory...

Its another "hose job"...

See also "Bottomless Black Ditch" where newbies throw all their
time and money... when a real working delay could be purchased
for the cost of mowing a few lawns...

See also "BBD" ... a term used to get a rise out of Harry on the
Synth-DIY and related lists... this is the only valid and reliable
use for this "thingie"...

H^) harry  ;^P
